The tallest skyscraper in Salford has been completed standing at 50-storeys high.

The building dubbed Cortland at Colliers Yard began construction in 2020 and finished last week.

The glass tower contains 559 one-, two- and three bedroom apartments.

Standing at 153m tall, the high-rise will provide sweeping views over Greengate, central Manchester and beyond.

The 50-storey tall tower is one of three to be built in the Colliers Yard area of Greengate.

The other two buildings to be constructed have been dubbed ‘Bankside’ and ‘Parkside’.

A targeted zone for regeneration, the Greengate area has seen considerable redevelopment in recent years and remains an earmarked area for growth.

A location for many proposed designs including the renovation of a series of bridge arches into cafés and restaurants, the creation of a 41 storey co-living tower as well as other skyscrapers in the area.

The skyscraper was bought by American firm Cortland, together with Madison International Realty, in December 2021.
